With the opening of the Willa Cather Collection in the Drew U. library, scholars have found a wealth of material about this seminal author's life and work, with new materials coming from a variety of sources frequently. The collection here reflects their excitement and their development of new paths of study as they address Cather's relationship with the Menuhin family, particularly that with the young Yehudi, her letters to Lucy Gayheart, her work as an illustrator (in particular he visions of Bartley Alexander), her ballet training, her 11 copies of April Twilights, her thoughts on the Brewsters, evidence of her existentialism, clues about Sapphira and the Slave Girl, fragments and observations on "Cécile" and other works, reflections on German civilization and the joys of archival scholarship, and commentary on correspondence. One of the best articles comments on an epistolary argument between Cather and Gorham Munson. Distributed by Associated University Presses.
